Jaguars on Winning Streak Face Struggling 49ers in Crucial NFL Clash
Jaguars' strong defense to challenge 49ers' QB Brock Purdy, who's under pressure after recent losses. Game seen as pivotal for both teams' season trajectories.
- The Jacksonville Jaguars are on a five-game winning streak, while the San Francisco 49ers have lost their last three games, marking a pivotal clash for both teams' season trajectories.
- The Jaguars have a strong defense, allowing just 79.3 rushing yards per game and 3.6 yards per carry, both ranked fourth in the NFL, and leading the league with 18 takeaways.
- 49ers' quarterback Brock Purdy, who started the season strong, has been struggling recently, throwing five interceptions and just three touchdowns in the last three games.
- The 49ers are hoping to have left tackle Trent Williams and receiver Deebo Samuel back from injuries for this game, which will also mark the debut of pass rusher Chase Young, acquired from Washington at the trade deadline.
- This game marks the beginning of a stretch in which the Jaguars play four of their next six games at home, providing an opportunity to separate themselves in the AFC South.
